Adopt

Prior to adoption, all of BARK's dogs are spayed/neutered, given routine vaccinations appropriate to their age, tested for heartworms, and are microchipped. BARK dogs also graduate from our BARK Behind Bars training program prior to adoption. You canlearn more about adopting from BARK here.

The mission of Bandit's Adoption and Rescue of K-9s (BARK) is to rescue orphaned or abandoned pets and other adoptable dogs from animal shelters in the Richmond area, provide spay/neuter and vaccinations, then find loving, forever homes for them. In 2015, BARK placed 353 dogs in forever homes. Learn more about BARK’s History.
